Wasting Time

There you go again refreshing all the pages that were left unread
Never to be read
Perhaps the memory of technology will fill in this role for me
I never even knew

Just how much I’ve been disconnected
But I think I’ve always been this way

From the people that disappoint me
To the places far behind me
I wonder what is left
That has not been touched
By the hurting of loss and struggling?
Constantly reminiscing
Maybe that’s why it feels like
We are wasting time

We’re just wasting time

It appears we’re all insane
Chronically weaponizing shame
For if I were to stare into a mirror
I might gouge my own eyes

But still, we must feed the machine
To give our life some meaning
What’s most important in our lives
Is how I’m perceived on the screen
(Huh)

From the people that disappoint me
To the places far behind me
I wonder what is left
That has not been touched
By the hurting of loss and struggling?
Constantly reminiscing
Maybe that’s why it feels like
We are wasting

Someone tell me a story from years long gone
Pick the scene with every detail that you can recall
Don’t speak ahead, I want every part of it
What treasures will we find?

I will live for now
Not live for then
If I forget this moment
I know there will be more

I promise you that sometimes you will forget things
But do not let them tell you, if you do not remember
Then did it ever happen? Did you ever changed?
Who you are and what you’ll be has more to do with your next breath

From the people that disappoint me
To the places far behind me
I wonder what is left
That has not been touched
By the hurting of loss and struggling?
Constantly reminiscing
Maybe that’s why it feels like
We are wasting

From the people that disappoint me
To the places far behind me
I wonder what is left
That has not been touched
By the hurting of loss and struggling?
Constantly reminiscing
Maybe that’s why it feels like
We are wasting
